But how about not adding to the hysteria by freaking buyers/sellers out! Just give them the facts....and your PROFESSIONAL expertise! :) Ben- Perhaps NAR should sport something like...."Now is a great time to buy if you have patience, persistence, and win the lottery!"

Especially when working with folks in areas riddled with foreclosures like Tracy, Antioch, and Brentwood. Makes for A LOT of frustration!!! Tyler – I think you should definitely speak the truth.
